Brisbane, Australia, 19 August 2026 – Oaks’ Hotels has launched its latest MICE campaign, giving event planners an added incentive to book their next festive and end-of-year events such as parties, meetings and conferences at participating Oaks Hotels, Resorts & Suites before 31st December 2026. With every eligible booking, event planners can enter into the draw to win a five-night stay at any Minor Hotels property across Australia & New Zealand.
Designed to support businesses planning everything from end-of-year celebrations through to conferences and meetings, the campaign rewards organisers for choosing from Oaks’ Hotels portfolio of event venues across Australia and New Zealand.
The campaign comes as demand for business events continues to underpin Australia's visitor economy. According to Tourism Research Australia, business events generated $18.8 billion in visitor spending across Australia in 2025, highlighting the ongoing importance of meetings, conferences and corporate events to the broader economy.
Daniel Csortan, Head of Commercial, Minor Hotels Australasia, said the festive period presents an important opportunity for businesses to secure venues for both end-of-year functions and upcoming corporate events.
“The $18.8 billion in business event visitor spending is a clear signal of how much businesses continue to invest in bringing people together, and we’re seeing that translate into strong demand for venues heading into the festive period,” Csortan said.
“Our MICE Festive Campaign is about rewarding planners for locking in those events now as we begin to see out the second half of the year.”
